Parameters:	gainMultiplier – Type: int, Range: [0 to 216 - 1] gainDivisor – Type: int, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]

Since the shunt resistor that is used to measure the current is not perfectly precise, it needs to be calibrated by a multiplier and divisor if a very precise reading is needed.

For example, if you are expecting a measurement of 1000mA and you are measuring 1023mA, you can calibrate the Voltage/Current Bricklet by setting the multiplier to 1000 and the divisor to 1023.

void BrickletVoltageCurrent.GetCalibration(out int gainMultiplier, out int gainDivisor)¶

Output Parameters:	gainMultiplier – Type: int, Range: [0 to 216 - 1] gainDivisor – Type: int, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]

Returns the calibration as set by SetCalibration().

void BrickletVoltageCurrent.GetIdentity(out string uid, out string connectedUid, out char position, out byte[] hardwareVersion, out byte[] firmwareVersion, out int deviceIdentifier)¶

Output Parameters:

uid – Type: string, Length: up to 8 connectedUid – Type: string, Length: up to 8 position – Type: char, Range: ['a' to 'h', 'z'] hardwareVersion – Type: byte[], Length: 3 0: major – Type: byte, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: byte, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: byte, Range: [0 to 255] firmwareVersion – Type: byte[], Length: 3 0: major – Type: byte, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: byte, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: byte, Range: [0 to 255] deviceIdentifier – Type: int, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]

Returns the UID, the UID where the Bricklet is connected to, the position, the hardware and firmware version as well as the device identifier.

The position can be 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g' or 'h' (Bricklet Port). A Bricklet connected to an Isolator Bricklet is always at position 'z'.

The device identifier numbers can be found here. There is also a constant for the device identifier of this Bricklet.

Virtual Functions¶

Virtual functions don't communicate with the device itself, but operate only on the API bindings device object. They can be called without the corresponding IP Connection object being connected.

byte[] BrickletVoltageCurrent.GetAPIVersion()¶

Output Parameters:	apiVersion – Type: byte[], Length: 3 0: major – Type: byte, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: byte, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: byte, Range: [0 to 255]

Returns the version of the API definition implemented by this API bindings. This is neither the release version of this API bindings nor does it tell you anything about the represented Brick or Bricklet.

bool BrickletVoltageCurrent.GetResponseExpected(byte functionId)¶

Parameters:	functionId – Type: byte, Range: See constants
Returns:	responseExpected – Type: bool

Returns the response expected flag for the function specified by the function ID parameter. It is true if the function is expected to send a response, false otherwise.

For getter functions this is enabled by default and cannot be disabled, because those functions will always send a response. For callback configuration functions it is enabled by default too, but can be disabled by SetResponseExpected(). For setter functions it is disabled by default and can be enabled.

Enabling the response expected flag for a setter function allows to detect timeouts and other error conditions calls of this setter as well. The device will then send a response for this purpose. If this flag is disabled for a setter function then no response is sent and errors are silently ignored, because they cannot be detected.

The following constants are available for this function:

For functionId:

• BrickletVoltageCurrent.FUNCTION_SET_CONFIGURATION = 4
• BrickletVoltageCurrent.FUNCTION_SET_CALIBRATION = 6
• BrickletVoltageCurrent.FUNCTION_SET_CURRENT_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 8
• BrickletVoltageCurrent.FUNCTION_SET_VOLTAGE_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 10
• BrickletVoltageCurrent.FUNCTION_SET_POWER_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 12
• BrickletVoltageCurrent.FUNCTION_SET_CURRENT_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 14
• BrickletVoltageCurrent.FUNCTION_SET_VOLTAGE_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 16
• BrickletVoltageCurrent.FUNCTION_SET_POWER_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 18
• BrickletVoltageCurrent.FUNCTION_SET_DEBOUNCE_PERIOD = 20

void BrickletVoltageCurrent.SetResponseExpected(byte functionId, bool responseExpected)¶

Parameters:	functionId – Type: byte, Range: See constants responseExpected – Type: bool

Changes the response expected flag of the function specified by the function ID parameter. This flag can only be changed for setter (default value: false) and callback configuration functions (default value: true). For getter functions it is always enabled.

Enabling the response expected flag for a setter function allows to detect timeouts and other error conditions calls of this setter as well. The device will then send a response for this purpose. If this flag is disabled for a setter function then no response is sent and errors are silently ignored, because they cannot be detected.

The following constants are available for this function:

For functionId:

• BrickletVoltageCurrent.FUNCTION_SET_CONFIGURATION = 4
• BrickletVoltageCurrent.FUNCTION_SET_CALIBRATION = 6
• BrickletVoltageCurrent.FUNCTION_SET_CURRENT_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 8
• BrickletVoltageCurrent.FUNCTION_SET_VOLTAGE_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 10
• BrickletVoltageCurrent.FUNCTION_SET_POWER_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 12
• BrickletVoltageCurrent.FUNCTION_SET_CURRENT_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 14

This constant represents the human readable name of a Voltage/Current Bricklet.
